Douche. Seriously. 1) why did you leave your dog outside on the steps unattended. 2) That was a LIVING THING you checked down STAIRS like it was a stuffy. Probably yelling and waving your arms would have sent it scurrying. Your dog probably tried to put it's nose where it didn't belong and was schooled by the raccoon. (see point one).
Any FARMER knows to turn the hose on it and it'll run - no rabies and everyone is safe. How about you use your BRAIN and not your testosterone.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51ec2dabecad04402c000015Nah, hate breeds hateSun, 21 Jul 2013 14:51:23 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51ec2dabecad04402c000015
I think that he included that message not to avoid litigious circumstances, rather to marginalize the (teenager) boneheads out there from doing harm to themselves.
He is an adult man, his buddy was in trouble, and he rescued his buddy. The simple mind does not recognize this sequence. The simple mind would rather pick a fight just for the sake of "Youtubing" it.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51ec2d39eab8ea5b77000005KauaifbSun, 21 Jul 2013 14:49:29 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51ec2d39eab8ea5b77000005
Kevin stood his ground! Wait maybe he should have called the police first, who then would have called animal control, who then would have called a sanitation worker to remove the dead dog, while the police office called PETA to find the poor racoon a new home. Then we could all watch this video on CNN 1000 times and listen to the racial overtones and the reverse racial overtones to increase viewership.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51ec2ca26bb3f7e04000000bI gave you a thumb down becauseSun, 21 Jul 2013 14:46:58 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51ec2ca26bb3f7e04000000b
Kicking is very unprecise. He got very lucky that the thing didn't bite him (he picked it up from the back end.)
But if I were him, I too would have picked it up and thrown it. Hopefully, in my sake, I would have picked it up at the back of its neck.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51ec22aa69beddb95600003fTag Team Wrestle ManiaSun, 21 Jul 2013 14:04:26 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51ec22aa69beddb95600003f

Sounds like rabies to me.
One time a rabid raccoon tried to attack me and my two big dogs. The coon was outweighed by each dogs at least 10 to one and both parties were snarling and raving at each other through the fence. Then the coon started climbing over the fence to attack me and both dogs! Luckily, I had a shovel handy and brained the coon with the metal end when he topped the fence knocking him unconscious and fetched my pistol and killed him. When you see any small animal attack a larger superior force when he can get away it is a sure sign of rabies.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51eb4f3469bedd606100000drdtSat, 20 Jul 2013 23:02:12 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51eb4f3469bedd606100000d

Good for Rose and for his grateful dog. Hopefully most female dog owners would have done exactly the same, if not more aggressively. Ooh-rah. Women in combat!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51eb3e14eab8eab60a000008James1Sat, 20 Jul 2013 21:49:08 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51eb3e14eab8eab60a000008
Looks like he just reacted without thinking. At least he was quick with it ... if he hesitated or took his time, he likely would have been bitten.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51eb25c26bb3f7894000000bnouseSat, 20 Jul 2013 20:05:22 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51eb25c26bb3f7894000000b
i would've done the same thing with an adrenaline rush...nothing to post online and brag about though. If i saw anyone or anything trying to attack my dog i can't promise i wouldn't try to murder it on the spot...but in general keep an eye on that thing if you are gonna get a dog that is only the size of a raccoon.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51eb1964eab8eae43f00000eStoneBoatSat, 20 Jul 2013 19:12:36 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51eb1964eab8eae43f00000e
Dang, that took balls, raccoons are all Balls and Fangs. Lucky that coon didn't tear him a new navel or other body orifice. Not an animal to trifle with.
BUT Raccoons carry rabies. And don't normally attack dogs. Bet you a box of donuts that coon was rabidhttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/51eb141469bedd1e6000001eDah'mirSat, 20 Jul 2013 18:49:56 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51eb141469bedd1e6000001e

It's a crazy sign of the times when someone has to be preemptively talk about 'violence against' animals before showing something rather mundane. Jeebus, a coon can handle being tossed - and deserved at least that.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51eb0fcbeab8eaf22300001djamesxxxxxxSat, 20 Jul 2013 18:31:39 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51eb0fcbeab8eaf22300001d
Wow. Picked it up?
I would have kicked it.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51eb0cd269bedd5d4e00002bKathy DSat, 20 Jul 2013 18:18:58 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51eb0cd269bedd5d4e00002b

I can't believe he picked up the coon and threw it. He's either stupid or has lots of balls. Wow, I don't think I could do that. When they settle in an area, they become a nuisance and get into everything. I've had raccoons come at me before especially when they're used to people or as mentioned, diseased, and it was always good to have a rock, bat, or gun in my hands.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51eaf409ecad04284c00001cChrisLSat, 20 Jul 2013 16:33:13 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51eaf409ecad04284c00001c
Good cal about the rabies(I was thinking the same thing).
Chances are the raccoon is fine, those are some tough bastards.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51eaee076bb3f7ec5300002asoSat, 20 Jul 2013 16:07:35 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51eaee076bb3f7ec5300002a
Nothing wrong with defending your pet. Hat's off to KR for jumping in the ring.
However, I'd recommend checking for rabies. Not likely an issue. However, it happened during daylight (looked dark) and not mating season, worth investigating. I think skunks and raccoons carry rabies.
